"The outstanding legacy of the Russian goldsmith and jeweler Carl Faberge has captured the public's imagination for many years.
During his lifetime, Faberge's exquisitely made jewelry and fantastically extravagant objets d'art brought him patronage from
the world's most affluent people, including royalty - and throughout this century his work has been avidly collected. Faberge
in America is the first book dedicated to the works that have been amassed by American collectors. More than just an assembly
of objects and names, it places the social history of American collecting against the backdrop of the nation's ongoing fascination
with imperial Russia." "Spanning almost a century of collecting, the book combines biographical accounts of the most important
American Faberge clients and collectors with exceptional photographs of the treasures. Following a brief background history
of the House of Faberge, the first section of the book is devoted to the period before World War I and the objects acquired
by Americans in St. Petersburg and London during Faberge's lifetime. The second part covers the years between 1930 and 1950
when, in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution, members of the royal family and Russian aristocrats brought Faberge treasures
to America. It was during this period that the first great American collections were formed, including those of Matilda Geddings
Gray, India Early Minshall, Lillian Thomas Pratt, and Marjorie Merriweather Post. A final section looks at the collections
formed between 1950 and the present day, with particular emphasis on Malcolm S. Forbes, who built up what is undoubtedly the
biggest and most impressive Faberge collection in the world." "Published to accompany a traveling exhibition organized by
the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco and commemorating the 150th anniversary of the jeweler's birth, Faberge in America
provides both a spectacular survey of some of the most beautiful and intriguing objects ever created and an unrivaled history
of art collecting in America."--BOOK JACKET

"The exquisite objects created by goldsmith and jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé and his studio in the late 19th and early 20th
centuries for the aristocracy and nobility of imperial Russia are considered to be some of the most refined examples of the
jeweler's art of any age. Of greatest fascination are the extraordinary Easter eggs created as special commissions for the
Russian imperial family and other notable patrons - works that remain unparalleled in their ingenuity of construction and
sheer beauty. Accompanying a major exhibition Faberge Revealed represents a landmark for the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts
and for Fabergé scholarship. The essays by Géza von Habsburg and other scholars present new findings on Fabergé, his workshops,
and the creation of these extraordinary objects. For the first time all items by or attributed to Fabergé in VMFA's collection
are documented along with the museum's significant holdings of other Russian decorative arts..."--Publisher description
